For instance, we're pretty sure that no other NBA player starred in basketball-centric Burger King ads before he entered high school. The CSN Bay Area broadcast of Monday's Golden State Warriors home game with the Hornets unearthed these old spots for a bit of Steph-Dell nostalgia:

YOOOOOO this Steph Curry/Dell Curry Burger King commercial they just found on the Warriors broadcast is EVERYTHING pic.twitter.com/B9P9nFulLt

So there you have it — the key to becoming a great NBA player like Dell Curry is to work hard, believe in yourself, and eat lots of mass-produced hamburgers. Unfortunately, the ad does not explain how a youngster can become as good as Stephen Curry. Maybe he went to some other fast food restaurants we don't know about yet.

Incidentally, Steph also welcomed his father, now a Hornets announcer, to Oracle Arena with a classic goof:

That 'hello' preceded a strong game for Curry, who returned to the starting lineup Monday after leaving Saturday's Warriors win with a re-aggravated left shin contusion. He put up 30 points (12-of-21 FG, 5-of-10 3FG) in just 32 minutes as Golden State won more comfortably than the 111-101 score indicates.
